Auto Ignition Key Replacement

You can change the traditional metal key with a lock at its end by yourself or by a locksmith in your area. However, the latest keys require a dealer or auto shop to program them.

Transponder Keys

A transponder (also known as chip key) is a key that has an electronic chip embedded inside the head. Its purpose to prevent auto theft is to make it difficult for criminals to duplicate keys to start your car.

An antennae ring is placed around the ignition cylinder inside your car, and emits a signal when the transponder keys are put in and then turned to the "On" position. The microchip on the head of the key receives the signal and sends back a unique identification code to the antennae ring. The computer system in the car compared this code to a list of approved codes. If the match is successful, your car's engine will start and you can drive off to your destination.
